Students studying within the field of biomedical physics may gain the skills necessary to develop devices, systems, tools, materials and methods that could improve the quality of life and health of patients. Studies often involve an integration of physics, life sciences, chemistry and mathematics.

A program in pre-veterinary medicine can help prepare students who like to work with animals to go to veterinary school. Students pursuing a pre-vet course of study may also be able to work at an internship with a veterinarian in order to find out more about the profession.
